What a great way to show how much they value their suppliers. Or maybe they are just saying “we’re big” so we can take advantage of you and you’re too small to fight us on this. And the small business supplier is now in the position of funding Halliburton’s operations for an additional 30 days. Meanwhile the small business must pay its bills on time and  incurs its expenses in advance of providing services to Halliburton, so that it is out-of-pocket for considerably longer than 60 days.

Apparently, Halliburton is joining the ranks of other big businesses in late paying small business as the following clip illustrates:  http://www.colbertnation.com/the-colbert-report-videos/374633/february-17-2011/jeffrey-leonard

HPL/HPLF decided on a bold theme “The Library is Free,” which on opening the extended cover page metamorphosed into “The Library is Freedom”  - emphasizing both that HPL is still a fabulous free resource for the Greater Houston Metropolitan area, but also that it has been the path to freedom for generations of Houstonians. The report featured stories of Houstonians whose lives and careers had been changed by the Library.

All in all,  the report is a powerful work and a testament to the vision of HPL’s Dr. Rhea Lawson and HPLF’s Susan Bischoff; the brilliance of Kay Krenek and Katy Couch; and the deft skills of Jim Barlow, Greg Simpson, and Donna Giles. Maya Houston and Daronda Gamble kept all in the loop and on track during the process and Donna Jackson gave it her unqualified support.

Hat’s off to a great team and the beautiful execution of a fabulous idea.
